REFUSE-CART.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 22, 1907.

Application filed May 19, 1905. sei-ai No. 261,196. i

To a/ZZ whom t may concern/.-

Be itknown that l, J Anon Consume, a citizen of the Swiss Confederacy, and a resident of Zurich, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful vimprovements in Dust-Proof Refuse()arl-s, o'twhich the following is a speciiieation.

This invention relates to improved means -for preventing the dispersion of' dust into the atmosphere during the emptying of dustbins into dust-carts and the like. Means designed for this purpose are already known, b ut have the disadvantage of being complicated and of requiring a considerable amount of force for the purpose of moving the dustbins into position, the guides in which the dust-bins and shutters move being liable to become filled with dust. K

The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings by means of an example, Figure 1 being a vertical section of the dust-bin and part of the dust-cart while closed, and Fig. 2 a vertical section thereof while open. Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a section of the dust-bin and shutter-guides on the line A A of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 a section of the shutter and guides on ythe line B B oi Fig. 3.

The saddle-shaped roof 1 of the dust-cart is provided with apertures 2, adapted to be closed by means of sliding shutters 3, which slide directly on the roof 1 of the cart. The shutters are provided with upwardly and outwardly projecting lateral llanges which Projections 5, with which the shutters are provided, serve to limit the movements of the shutters and to couple the latter to the dust-bin. 6, a 'bent plate 7 being for this urpose ixed to the latter. The edges of t e dust-bin adjacent the guides 4 are bent outward to form iianges which engage the bent edges of a slide-cover 8, the width of which is exactly e ual to thev distance between the guides 4. T e cover 8 is provided with a slotted projection 9, adapte ed, to engage a bar 10, rigidly connected to the roof o'l thecart, so that the cover 8 does not take part in the movement ofthe bin when the latter is moved to and from thev aperture.

The edge of the cover 8 is bent upward ad-v jacent the projection 9 in order to form an abutment which limits the movement of the bin during the withdrawal of the latter.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. In means for receiving refuse the combination of a receptacle having a sliding cover and a iixed har, with a bin having two of its edges that are parallel to each other outwardly hanged and a bin-cover having returned edges to slidably engage said flanges and having abutments adapted to engage said bar'. i

2. In means for receiving reusethe combination of a receptacle having a sliding cover with a lug on one end, a fixed bar at tached to said receptacle, a bin having two of' its edges'that are parallel to each other outwardly flanged, a bin-cover having returned edges to slidably engage said ianges, abutments on the bin-cover adapted to engage the aforesaid bar and means on the bin 1 to engage the aforesaid lug. g
